I received a simple hey in Messenger, and I ignored it for a few days, thinking, who the fuck is this? I also had a friend request but had not accepted it either. So I asked, Do I know you? And he replied that he was looking for a friend to chat with. I noticed that his spelling of simple English words was bad (first bad sign). He wanted someone he could trust and chat with. I asked how he came across me, and he claimed he saw my pretty face. He told me he googled my name. He did. I did and did not realize it had all the stuff about my birth name, my married names, when I was saved by a fireman, and so on. I googled my name, and there were five pages with my name associated on all of them.

Lewis pens the first book to tell the fascinating story of gene therapy: how it works, the science behind it, how patients (mostly children) have been helped and harmed, and how scientists learned from each trial to get one step closer to the promise of a cure.
I answered an ad on Rightdoor, a neighborhood page; for a roommate for 6 months that turned into 11 months of Hell. I allowed two different women to move in with him, where both were useless to him and I finally had to tell him after #!GF showed up looking for money to buy drugs while pregnant at 3/am. I watched her on RIng peeping through the front window. #2GF comes along and she is just as bad if not worse than GF#!. He was being used by both and admits that he was and didn’t know how to handle it or take my elderly advice about what I saw. It only got worse from there, multiple police calls, notice to vacate, anxiety attach and finally eviction. A story worth reading if you ever think about getting a roommate, think twice. I will never do it again!
Ricki Schultz's charming and hilarious new novel, Switch and Bait, is now available for preorder! A Tale of #LeftSwipes, #NotMyTypes, and #Vodka Rae Wallace would rather drown in a vat of pinot greezh and be eaten by her own beagle than make another trip down the aisle--even if it is her best friend's wedding. She's too busy molding the minds of first graders and polishing that ol' novel in the drawer to waste time on any man. But when her best friends stage an intervention, Rae is forced to give in. After all, they've hatched a plan to help her find love the 21st century way: online. She's skeptical of this electronic chlamydia catcher, but she's out to prove she hasn't been too picky with men. However, when a familiar fella's profile pops up--the dangerously hot substitute teacher from work--Rae swipes herself right into a new problem... Sarcastic, irreverent, and uproariously funny--the painfully-true, so-insightful-it-hurts kind of funny--Ricki Schultz's wry debut will speak to fans of Bridesmaids or Trainwreck, and to anyone who's ever been on a bad date. "This book gave me my absolute favorite feeling: laughing out loud alone in a room, chased immediately by the swoons. Nick is my new book boyfriend. But even better? Rae is my new best friend. MR. RIGHT SWIPE is exactly the book I needed." -- CHRISTINA LAUREN, New York Times bestselling author of the BEAUTIFUL BASTARD series "Highly recommended." - RT Book Reviews
The Female Trickster presents a Post-Jungian postmodern perspective regarding the role of women in contemporary Western society by investigating the re-emergence of female trickster energy in all aspects of popular culture. Ricki Tannen explores the psychological aspects of what happened when women’s imagination was legally and psychologically enclosed millennia ago and demonstrates how the re-emergence of Trickster energy through the female imagination has the radical potential to effect a transformation of western consciousness. Examples are drawn from a diverse range of sources, from Jane Austen, and female sleuth narratives, to Madonna and Sex and the City, illustrating how Trickster energy is used not to maintain power and control but to integrate and unite the paradoxical through humour. Subjects covered include: imagination and metaphor the traditional trickster law and the imagination humour: Eros using logos the postmodern female trickster. This highly original perspective on women's role in contemporary culture will offer readers a new vision of how humour psychologically operates as a healthy adaptation to trauma and adversity. It will be of great interest to all analytical psychologists and psychoanalysts as well as those in women's, cultural, legal and literary studies.
This book is about learning and ethnography in the context of technologies. Simultaneously, it portrays young people's "thinking attitudes" in computer-based learning environments, and it describes how the practice of ethnography is changing in a digital world. The author likens this form of interaction to "the double helix," where learning and ethnography are intertwined to tell an emergent story about partnerships with technology. Two school computer cultures were videotaped for this study. Separated not only by geography -- one school is on the east coast of New England and the other on the west coast of British Columbia on Vancouver Island -- they are also separated in other ways: ethnic make-up and inner-city vs. rural settings to name only two. Yet these two schools are joined by a strong thread: a change in their respective cultures with the advent of intensive computer-use on the part of the students. Both school communities have watched their young people gain literacy and competence, and their tools have changed from pen to computer, video camera, multimedia and the Internet. Perhaps most striking is that the way they think of themselves as learners has also changed: they see themselves as an active participant, in the pilot's seat or director's chair, as they chart new connections between diverse and often unpredictable worlds of knowledge.
